7. Modes

The airflow distribution mode can be adjusted so air

comes from the instrument panel outlets, floor outlets,

demist outlets and defrost outlets. The Mode settings are

as follows:

• Panel Mode

Air comes from the outlets in the instrument panel.

Each of these outlets can be individually adjusted to

direct the flow of air. The air vanes of the center outlets and

outboard outlets can be moved up and down or side to side

to regulate airflow direction. There is a shut off wheel

located adjacent to the air vanes to shut off or adjust the

amount of airflow from these outlets.

• Bi-Level Mode

Air comes from the instrument panel outlets and

floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed

through the defrost and side window demister outlets.

NOTE: BI-LEVEL mode is designed under comfort con-

ditions to provide cooler air out of the panel outlets and

warmer air from the floor outlets.

• Floor Mode

Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight amount

of air is directed through the defrost and side

window demister outlets.

• Mix Mode

Air comes from the floor, defrost and side window

demist outlets. This mode works best in cold or

snowy conditions.

NOTE: The air conditioning compressor operates in MIX

and DEFROST modes even if the A/C button is not

pressed. This dehumidifies the air to help dry the wind-

shield. To improve fuel economy, use these modes only

when necessary.
